Answer:
x=5, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation
5(3y+14)-2y=31
simplify
15y+70-2y=31
13y=-39
y=-3
now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14
x=3(-3)+14
x=-9+14
x=5

To find the inverse of this function, we first need to replace f(x) with y.
y = 2x^2 + 3
Now, we swap x and y
x = 2y^2 + 3
Now, we solve for y.
-3
x - 3 = 2y^2
Sqrt both sides.
√(x - 3) = 2y
Divide by 2
√(x - 3)/2 = y
Replace y with f^-1(x)
√(x - 3)/2 = f^-1(x)
Just realized you were asking for f(-1), not f^-1(x)
Feels bad.
f(-1) = 2(-1^2 + 3)
f(-1) = 2(-1^5)
f(-1) = 2(-1)
<u>f(-1) = -2</u>
I'm leaving the original answer in case you also need the inverse function. :)
